Well I don’t have a choice. The announced date was “late April” of course so I was expecting that. But nooooo, the store is now showing May 7th. Just a few days ago I was mocking foreigners for having to wait for the newly announced May date for them, and now here I am in the same boat.

I’m not from some damn third world country2, this is America dammit! Those worldwide iPads better be coming after May 7th so I can rub in American superiority as usual!

USA! USA!
